9/12: Palin dropped the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie from her speech in Alaska, where voters know the truth. 9/12: McCain's new TV ad attacks Obama for calling Palin a liar, but doesn't say she's telling the truth. 9/12: Palin says Alaska "produces nearly 20% of the U.S. domestic supply of energy" but it's only 3.5%. 9/14: Palin repeated the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie in Nevada. 9/15: Palin repeated the "Bridge to Nowhere" lie in Golden Colorado(#10).
It is now thoroughly documented that Sarah Palin supported the $398 million "Bridge to Nowhere" when she ran for Governor in 2006, even though Congress cancelled the earmark in 2005.
She only opposed it in September 2007 after her final efforts to get $329 million more from Congress failed. Yet she kept the partial funding from Congress!
So when Palin repeatedly says "I told Congress, 'Thanks, but no thanks' on that bridge to nowhere," she is repeatedly lying.
It is long past time for reporters to call Sarah Palin exactly what she is - a serial liar.

Palin first lied when she was introduced as McCain's VP choice on August 29. She repeated it on August 31, September 3, September 6, September 8, and September 9. All of these lies are documented: http://thinkprogress.org/lies-nowhere/
Palin knows the truth, but keeps repeating a lie.
